History Manga / AnimalYokocho

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Iyo is a frequent victim but not limited to, being hit with a plastic mallet by Kenta.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Ami's friend, Kumiko (nicknamed Kuu/Kuu-chan), is afraid of horses thanks to a certain incident in a stable (a horse bit her head when she was a baby...it's not as bad as you think). This is why she [[{{Fainting}} passes out]] upon first seeing Mr. Yamanami. [[CharacterDevelopment It's toned down after a few appearances]] and between them was an episode about her overcoming that fear.

''Animal Yokocho'' ('''Ani-Yoko'' for short ''lit.'' "Animal Alley") is a Japanese GagSeries {{shoujo|Demographic}} manga, written and illustrated by Ryō Maekawa. The manga began serialization in the shoujo magazine ''Magazine/{{Ribon}}'' in February 2000, and is still ongoing.

* BatmanInMyBasement: Or [[BuffySpeak Magical Basement Door Thingy In My Bedroom]]. With live talking animals!

* TheGhost: Catherine Maekawa is Ami's favorite manga artist, whose voice is we never hear nor is it known what she even looks like.
* InconvenientlyPlacedConveyorBelt: Non-game example: Mr. Yamanami fixes up Ami's room to be a jungle with a hot spring-sauna deep within. After Ami realizes that they've been walking an illogically long distance within her room, the camera zooms out to show that they'd been walking on a treadmill the whole time.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Ami's friend, Kumiko (nicknamed Kuu/Kuu-chan), is afraid of horses thanks to a certain incident in a stable (a horse bit her head when she was a baby...it's not as bad as you think). Her [[{{Fainting}} first reaction]] to Mr. Yamanami was less than surprising therefore. [[CharacterDevelopment It's toned down after a few appearances]] and between them, was an episode about her overcoming that fear.

* BetterThanABareBulb: Popular for this kind of comedy.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Iyo to, well, everyone else...
** Ami too, if you get on her bad side.

* ShesAManInJapan: Match/Macchi is mistakenly referred to as a "he" in the English dubs.

* TheUnseen: Ami's parents. Oddly enough, they're not the {{Unnamed Parent}}s.
** Catherine Maekawa is Ami's favorite manga artist. We also don't hear her.

''Animal Yokocho'' ('''Ani-Yoko'' for short ''lit.'' "Animal Alley") is a Japanese GagSeries manga, written by Ryō Maekawa. Publishing started in February 2000. It is about a little girl named Ami Matsuzaki who has a secret doorway on the floor of her bedroom that leads to another world that is called "[[TitleDrop Animal-Yokocho/Ani-Yoko]]". It is inhabited by stuffed-animal like creatures (the main trio, Kenta; a bear, Iyo; a rabbit, and Issa; a panda) and who knows what. We are lead to believe so since the world of Ani-Yoko is never seen, save for a few shots shown in the anime when one of the characters have their flashback moments.

Speaking of anime, its animated adaptation made in 2005 has 51 episodes (most of which are in the TwoShorts formula. Hence, it has 102 segments).

If you must stereotype Japanese animation as having some dark elements in them, that even their children shows would make you ask, "WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids", this is not one of those. It's quite lighthearted and kid-friendly but could be enjoyable to other audiences because of {{Parental Bonus}}es.

* AmusingInjuries: Everyone is prone to this, but especially Kenta who gains a CranialEruption every time Iyo uses her mallet against him.

Compare, ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
